A good deal of sushi

Sushi Tei offers a great Japanese dining experience. With its rustic, traditional Japanese-themed ambience with distinctly Japanese deco everywhere, it’s sure to make you feel like you’ve left Malaysia. The Gardens outlet is located in the lower ground floor, in the food court where most of the food stalls and restaurants are located. The restaurant itself is small and cozy, with lots of seating inside. The exterior façade is brightly lighted with a huge Sushi Tei sign on top, so you won’t miss it.

There is a conveyor belt for sushi at the restaurant—with many varieties of sushi to choose from. Those who are lucky enough to get seats right next to the conveyor belt can just pick out dishes they like from there, while others who are seated away from the belt can just order the sushi from any of the waiters. There is a huge selection of sushi, rice, sashimi and noodles on the menu. You’ll be hard pressed to find a restaurant with more choices!

I had a taste of the Soft Shell Crab Maki (RM 6.80, cheaper than Zanmai for now), Tamago Mentai Sushi, Natto Sushi, Fried Salmon Skin and Sukiyaki set. The sushi I ordered (Natto and Tamago Mentai) are not usually on the kaiten belt, so mine was made to order. Taste-wise is decent. The Tamago Mentai costs more than Zanmai, but they are more generous with the topping and it was made fresh so it's worth the price.

Price is reasonable for the food you can get at a restaurant of this stature. There are a few sushi which costs slightly more than other kaiten sushi restaurants, but I didn't order any so I can't compare.

Service is a little lacking, I had my arm raised for quite some time before someone looked my way. My hot tea was served at room temperature at first, had to ask them to make a fresh batch to get the temperature.

All in all, my sushi was pretty tasty but as I didn't grab any off the belt I cannot vouch for the taste or freshness of those on the belt.

This sushi tei outlet located in, what I guess I would call the "middle" of the LG passage connecting megamall and the gardens, great location, easy-to-find and as expected, it is always packed.

I have to admit I enjoy eating here and do so everytime I get a chance. Sure it's cramped, your table space is quite small and you'll end up having to reach over other patrons to get to the sushi belt but I love their menu and service ain't too shabby (though there is always room for improvement).

For me, the sushi is actually quite good, though others have said it average so I guess one of these days, I would just have to buck up and go and eat in Japan to really know for sure.
Anyways the soft shell crab is quite tasty as was most of the dishes I sniped off the conveyor belt. The eggymushi was crazy salty though - what's up with that?

Value-wise, it's not too bad. A meal for 2 was around the RM60 mark.

If you haven't been to Sushi tei at the gardens then I assume you are a foreigner (because everyone I know has! ..but why so little reviews?) and definitely recommend you stop by for a meal.
